Chapter 130: It's so hard to be my sister's brother!
That night, the children were out of school as usual.
Grandma Archie rarely circles the children, looking for the right opportunity to talk. She had planned to talk after dinner, but she was afraid that Duoduo would come at that time.
After listening to the advice of his classmate Cheng Qianli, Archie did not write his homework in the outdoor natural light that was not bright enough, but turned on the lights indoors. Although Ah Qiao likes to watch the wall builders build the wall, it is obvious that the borrowed books in the library are more attractive.
Since her brother turned on the light, in the spirit of frugality, she immediately went to rub the light.
Grandma Archie walked indoors, took two turns around the small square table, and began with "There are guests at home today", telling the two children what happened during the day.
"You say, the red envelopes they secretly put down, can we ask for them or can't we?"
A strange thought popped up in Archie's heart: Good guy, this money is still earned by my sister!
He looked at his sister silently and resentfully: Good guy, it's so difficult to be your brother!
Sister Ah Qiao is innocent, and she never thought about the causal relationship between this money and herself. What she thought was, "How much? ”
Grandma replied, "A thousand." ”
"It's just the labor cost of building the wall."
"Did Heaven mean for us to build a wall?"
"But in addition to the labor cost, there is also the cost of bricks."
"Is there another windfall in the near future?"
The two children, you and I are talking lively.
Grandma Archie listened slowly, and smiled after listening: "Whether we want to build a wall or not has nothing to do with whether there is a windfall." It's not that you can spend money just when you have it, you always have to remember: money has to be spent where it goes. ”
Ah Qiao replied obediently, although she had no idea what the blade meant.
"According to you, you don't know where the man lives, you don't know his mobile phone number, you don't know anything, even if you want to pay back, where are you going to pay it back?" Archie is older and asks very sharp questions.
Grandma nodded: "Yes, I can't pay it back." ”
"Then why should we discuss it? You don't have to ask for it, you can't throw it on the road, right? Archie said.
Grandma smiled tolerantly: "Yes, you can't throw it on the road." However, it can be reserved for those who need it more. ”
Archie looked at his hand, and then at his sister, looking a little displeased: Who is the one who needs it more? A lot of the money in the family is earned by my sister, and obviously the person who needs it more will not be my sister. Isn't he, a man, still unable to support himself with his hands?
Finally, Archie looked at Grandma and smiled: "Grandma, the person who needs it the most must be you." ”
Grandma Archie patted her chest: "My old bones are quite tough, and there may be someone who needs this money more than me." ”
"Who?"
"I don't know yet. You have a wider range of activities than I do, and you know more people than I do, so think about it, is there anyone around you who is poorer and more desperate for money than us? ”
"Ahh Archie suddenly realized, "You mean, to donate to others?" ”
Grandma nodded with a smile.
Archie's face lit up, and he suddenly became excited: "This is good, this is very selfless, this is not only selfless, but also fraternal, giving roses to people, leaving fragrance in your hands, this is really amazing...... It's just that if the father and daughter come again, the money is gone, what can I do? "Took it out of your own pocket and returned it to others?
Ah Qiao is not as excited as her brother, maybe because she is used to reading books, and there are many true, good and beautiful things in books, and she is used to it.
Grandma nodded, approving in her heart: her grandson is not stupid, and the questions he asks are very sharp.
